An Exhibition of Concert Photography

I'm very pleased to announce that I'll be exhibiting a collection of concert photography in my first-ever gallery show. The exhibition will include images of a range of talent, from solo artists such as Morrissey, Yoko Ono, and Tony Bennett to acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Strokes.

The gallery opening is on Friday, January 4 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and the show runs through February 10. Suite 100 @ the Pageant, the new retail arm of St. Louis's premier music venue, is hosting the event. This location is particularly appropriate because not only where many of images in the show shot there, but the Pageant is hands down my favorite venue in which to shoot and consistently books fantastic national acts.

For anyone in the area, I sincerely hope you'll be able to make it out to the opening. To anyone stopping by afterward, let me know and I'll be happy to meet up and walk you through the show.

Simply clicking through any product links on this site helps me bring you free content like the photography tips and gear reviews regularly posted on www.ishootshows.com, and naturally it doesn't cost you a cent more.

Thank you very much for the support. I will certainly make the images available as an “online exhibit.” I’m sure there will be some shots that are familiar to you, but I also tried to pick a few images from smaller shows that people might not have seen. Thanks again!

Thanks, I”m excited, but there’s a lot to be done. I’m printing these at 12″x18″ and they are being framed at 18″x24″, so there is a 3″ mat on all sides. Framing was expensive, but it should look nice.

If a job takes you to St. Louis in the next two months, the show will be up.

Congratulations Todd! =) yes, will be waiting for your online exhibit, although it certainly is always better to see the original print exhibition — i’m sure it will be awesome! more success to you! :)

Thanks! One of the cool things about this show is that it’s happening in the same building as a venue at which I often shoot. I’ll probably be posting some shots of the show the weekend of the opening.

I’m really excited about this exhibition – great news! I’d love to be there and see it in person, but unfortunately I can’t. All the best with the show – I’m looking forward to hear all about it. And be sure to put up some pics from the exhibition (the place, the crowd etc) together with the displayed images.

Hey Todd, I was thinking about trying to make it tomorrow, but then I remembered you saying something about it being a wine and cheese sort of thing. Care to elaborate? If nothing else, I should be by sometime Sunday most likely. Oh, and what’s the cost?

Todd – The presentation was great! Seeing the work presented in big prints and nice framing really made me appreciate the quality of what you do. I can’t imagine what the process was like narrowing down what to present, but I thought you had a good representation of your work, a little something for everyone. I’ll look forward to the next one, Exhibition: Part Deaux!

Adria: Thanks! In selecting images I went through my images with a few things in mind – namely overall impact balanced with what images I thought would enlarge well. So, there was a technical aspect to the selection.

Kenny: Thanks so much for coming out, Kenny. It was tough to narrow down the selection, but I was pleased with the selection in the end. Hopefully this will just be the first in a series of exhibitions!

Ernie: Thanks very much, and good to hear from you! Concert photography is something I haven’t posted about much on DPR, I’m glad you could check out the work here.
